A spokesperson for Mulligans insisted the pub welcomed people of all backgrounds, was proud of its own Irish heritage and was ‘reviewing the matter internally’.<\/p>\n
They added: “Mulligans is aware of a video circulating on social media and the planned protest this weekend, and takes the concerns raised very seriously.<\/p>\n
“We want to be absolutely clear: Mulligans welcomes customers of all backgrounds. As a pub proud of its own Irish heritage, the suggestion that we would discriminate against any community is something we take particularly seriously.<\/p>\n
“We have many valued customers from the Traveller community, and there is no blanket policy to refuse entry on the basis of ethnicity or background.<\/p>\n
“We operate a very strict door policy because we want Mulligans to be a safe and welcoming environment for every customer. Like all licensed venues, we do refuse entry where specific individuals have previously caused issues on the premises – this policy applies equally to everyone, regardless of background.<\/p>\n
“We are reviewing the matter internally and have already been in direct contact with members of the community and are committed to continuing that conversation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A spokesperson for Mulligans insisted the pub welcomed people of all backgrounds, was proud of its own Irish…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":917636,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,2465,18960,8086,12038,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-917635","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-manchester","12":"tag-manchester-bars","13":"tag-manchester-city-centre","14":"tag-manchester-pubs","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116465503786353847","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=917635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=917635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=917635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=917635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
